What Comes After The Star Schema? Dimensional Modeling For Enterprise Data HubsCloudera, Inc.
Dimensional modeling and the star schema are some of the most important ideas in the history of analytics and data management. They provided a common language and set of patterns that allowed a broad class of users to analyze business processes and spawned an entire ecosystem. With the rise of enterprise data hubs that allow us to combine ETL, search, SQL, and machine learning in a single platform, we need to extend the principles of dimensional modeling to support new and diverse analytical workloads and users. We'll illustrate these concepts by walking through the design of a customer-centric data hub that uses all of the components of an EDH to enable everyone to understand the way that customers experience a company.

Big Data Warehousing Meetup: Dimensional Modeling Still Matters!!!Caserta
Joe Caserta went over the details inside the big data ecosystem and the Caserta Concepts Data Pyramid, which includes Data Ingestion, Data Lake/Data Science Workbench and the Big Data Warehouse. He then dove into the foundation of dimensional data modeling, which is as important as ever in the top tier of the Data Pyramid. Topics covered:
- The 3 grains of Fact Tables
- Modeling the different types of Slowly Changing Dimensions
- Advanced Modeling techniques like Ragged Hierarchies, Bridge Tables, etc.
- ETL Architecture.
He also talked about ModelStorming, a technique used to quickly convert business requirements into an Event Matrix and Dimensional Data Model.
This was a jam-packed abbreviated version of 4 days of rigorous training of these techniques being taught in September by Joe Caserta (Co-Author, with Ralph Kimball, The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit) and Lawrence Corr (Author, Agile Data Warehouse Design).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Using the Command Line
Programs
This chapter includes the following topic:
♦ Overview, 2
1
26. Overview
PowerCenter includes command line programs that you use to perform tasks from any
machine in the PowerCenter environment. The command line programs allow you to run a
subset of tasks that you can complete in the Administration Console. For example, you can
enable or disable a Repository Service from the Administration Console or the command line
program, infacmd.
PowerCenter includes the following command line programs:
♦ infacmd. Use infacmd to access the PowerCenter application services. For more
information about infacmd, see “infacmd Command Reference” on page 19.
♦ infasetup. Use infasetup to perform installation tasks such as defining a node or a domain.
For more information about infasetup, “infasetup Command Reference” on page 263.
♦ pmcmd. Use pmcmd to manage workflows. You can start, stop, schedule, and monitor
workflows using pmcmd. For more information about pmcmd, see “pmcmd Command
Reference” on page 289.
♦ pmrep. Use pmrep to perform repository administration tasks such as listing repository
objects, creating and editing groups, and restoring and deleting repositories. For more
information about pmrep, see “pmrep Command Reference” on page 349.
To run command line programs on UNIX, you may need to set the library path environment
variable to the location of the PowerCenter utilities.
For ease of use, you can configure environment variables that apply each time you run the
command line programs. For example, you can set an environment variable for the default
domain name, user, and password to avoid typing the options at the command line. For more
information about environment variables, see “Configuring Environment Variables” on
page 5.
Entering Options and Arguments
Each command line program requires a set of options and arguments. These include user
name, password, domain name, and connection information.
Use the following rules when you enter command options and arguments:
♦ To enter options, type a hyphen followed by one letter, two letters, or a word, depending
on the command line program syntax.
For example, the pmrep Connect command uses a single letter option for the repository
name:
connect -r <repository_name>
♦ Enter options in any order.
♦ The first word after the option is the argument.
♦ Most options require arguments. You must separate options from arguments with a single
space when using pmcmd or infacmd. You do not have to separate options from arguments
when using pmrep.
2 Chapter 1: Using the Command Line Programs
27. ♦ If any argument contains more than one word, enclose the argument in double quotes. For
pmcmd, you can also use single quotes. The command line programs ignore quotes that do
not enclose an argument. Unmatched quotes result in an error.
Syntax Notation
Table 1-1 describes the notation used in this book to show the syntax for all PowerCenter
command line programs:
Table 1-1. Syntax Notation
Convention Description
-x Option placed before a argument. This designates the parameter you enter. For
example, to enter the user name for pmcmd, type -u or -user followed by the user name.
<x> Required option. If you omit a required option, the command line program returns an
error message.
<x | y > Select between required options. For the command to run, you must select from the
listed options. If you omit a required option, the command line program returns an error
message.
{x | y} In pmrep, curly brackets denote groupings of required options, as in the following
example:
killuserconnection
{-i <connection_id> |
-n <user_name> |
-a (kill all)}
If a pipe symbol ( | ) separates options, you must specify exactly one option. If options
are not separated by pipe symbols, you must specify all the options.
[x] Optional parameter. The command runs whether or not you enter optional parameters.
For example, the help command has the following syntax:
Help [Command]
If you enter a command, the command line program returns information on that
command only. If you omit the command name, the command line program returns a list
of all commands.
[x|y] Select between optional parameters. For example, many commands in pmcmd run in
either the wait or nowait mode.
[-wait|-nowait]
If you specify a mode, the command runs in the specified mode.
The command runs whether or not you enter the optional parameter. If you do not
specify a mode, pmcmd runs the command in the default nowait mode.
<< x | y>| <a | b>> When a set contains subsets, the superset is indicated with bold brackets < >. A bold
pipe symbol (|) separates the subsets.
(text) In pmrep, parentheses surround descriptive text, such as the list of the possible values
for an argument or an explanation for an option that does not take an argument.

30. Overview
You can configure environment variables for the command line programs. For example, you
can set environment variables to encrypt passwords, configure time and date display options,
or store the default login information for a domain. The environment variables you configure
are all optional. If you are running pmcmd or pmrep in interactive mode, you must exit from
the command line program and then reconnect to use changed environment variables.
On Windows, you can configure these environment variables as either user or system
variables. For information about setting environment variables on Windows, consult the
Windows documentation.
Table 2-1 describes environment variables you can configure to use with the command line
programs:
